Burned by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

In the seventh installment of this twelve-part series, the fledglings and vampyres of the House of Night face some of their greatest challenges yet.

***SPOILER ALERT!***

After witnessing the death of her human ex-boyfriend and consort, Heath, in book six, Zoey's soul was shattered and fled to the Otherworld. Back in Italy, Stark and Aphrodite, along with Damien, Darius, Jack, Erin, and Shaunee, are racing against the clock to find a way to heal Zoey's soul. The solution for this problem appears to lie within ancient vampyre lore the gang is hesitant to investigate.

Meanwhile, back at the House of Night, Stevie Rae's attachment to the Raven Mocker, Rephaim, is growing with every moment they spend together. When, during a ritual to summon a very old spirit to this realm things go horribly wrong, their bond is made stronger than ever. Confused about these new feelings, Stevie Rae has to deal with the task of what to do with the rogue red fledglings, once and for all.

The House of Night series is one that greatly improves as each book is released. Filled with grand mythologies from both Cherokee and Celtic legends, it is a good twist in the increasingly stale vampire YA genre. I definitely recommend this series, and this installment.
